CM1150v with xfinity dropps speeds soon after a reboot
I have cm1150v modem with xfinity 1Gb service.Firmware version is set by comcast, v2.02.04. I'm using 2 LAN port aggregation to RAX80 wifi router, they are both located near eachother. I measure...
Its an issue with link aggregation. It seems like both netgear and arris have had issues with link aggregation and speed drops.
Its a great idea in concept but performs poorly on consumer devices.
I'd disable link aggregation and just run it with a standard 1 gig connection.
I switched from a cm1100 to the CAX80 just for the 2.5g ethernet port and the issues with link aggregation.
I decided to change the 2 cables for agregation with 2 that are identical, in lenght and manufacturer. I also put aluminum foil between the wifi and the modem.
Surprisingly the Modem has been up to speed for couple of days now. If it drops again, i'll disconect the agregation and report back.Thank you!
After few days with new cables for 2 LAN port aggregation, the speed droped again from >1gbs to ~20mbs. I disconnected the aggregation and now the speed lingers around 500mbs.
Sucks.
